Constipation is a common digestive issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by infrequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stools. While occasional constipation is normal, chronic constipation can significantly impact one's quality of life. While they might not seem related, the digestive system and the pelvic floor muscles have to work together to ensure the proper function of our bowel system. Pelvic floor physical therapy can be an excellent treatment option for promoting function in this system - our pelvic floor physical therapists at EW Motion Therapy do this for our clients daily.
